 "I
first heard about the excellent Bill Cole know-how from my
coach Rodney King, so it was natural for me to check him out
right away. Well, what can I say after JUST a couple of months
of intensive coaching and the IMGCA education process? Simply
brilliant stuff and outstanding overall approach!!! I immediately
have been able to apply all the material in action, during
special operations (police, military) training camps, and
while coaching professional elite soccer players, and other
world-class athletes.
Moreover, the IMGCA message is getting spread here in Slovakia
like wild fire, and now even pro elite coaches are starting
to pay attention (based on awesome results which they see
first hand in action every day). I am starting to work with
these coaches as well. I once again highly recommend you contact
Bill Cole and see first hand about his fantastic know how.
It has been one of the best investments I have ever made.
You can give a gift to yourself to reach your full potential!
Go for it."

 "For
the past 10 years I have been in the motorcycle training business,
educating more than 6,000 riders. In addition to my training
school I have also been actively engaged in motorcycle road
racing and long distance motorcycle competitions. I was extremely
fortunate to get involved with Bill Cole, and his IMGCA certification
training program. Bill's program has helped me immensely in
all facets of my life. His extensive business experience was
invaluable in helping me grow my business and secure more
sponsorships for my motorcycle adventures. His mental game
techniques have helped me to become a better motorcycle rider.
I have discovered that I am much more prepared mentally, which
translates to a better performance on the track. Along with
his guidance I have become a better educator myself. I simply
do not have the words to express my gratitude to Bill for
his guidance, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to
any athlete who is looking for that performance edge."

 "My
name is Alan Kane and I took the level I IMGCA mental game
coaching with founder Bill Cole. I have been in a clinical
Kinesiology practice for many years and also hold 2nd degree
black belt in Korean martial arts. I have practiced martial
arts for over 20 years. My passion is helping people to relieve
pain from their body and improve performance, on physical,
mental and emotional levels.
I undertook the training to broaden my knowledge of the mental
game of "Life". I found the training and one to one coaching
with Bill Cole to be absolutely without doubt excellent. I
was able to gain a great understanding from our calls with
Bill each week.
Bill is an expert in his field and can pitch the training
at just the right level for each student. I found he met me
perfectly with where I was on my learning and helped to accelerate
me to certification very quickly.
I found the website material and archives to provide endless
material for reference and also to help formulate trainings
for my clients. Without any hesitation if you are interested
in learning about mental game coaching this is the place to
be, stop your search now and get on to the programme."

"I'm so pleased I chose IMGCA for my mental game coaching
certification! Bill Cole exceeded my expectations as an instructor
and facilitator.
Certainly, all that I have learned will enhance my coaching
business. Bill's expertise and experience was evident in every
phone conversation and email correspondence. He not only answered
every question I had (and I had a lot!) throughout my training,
but made sure questions were answered thoroughly and he gave
specific scenarios and examples of what I may encounter while
coaching. Bill helped me prepare a presentation where I received
very positive feedback from athletes. I owe it to Bill for
all the insight he gave me with public speaking and talking
with a team versus a single client.
Bill customized my training to how I will be using it in the
field. This was important to me because of the type of coaching
business I have. There is such a wealth of information in
the IMGCA certification program, it would be easy to be overwhelmed,
but IMGCA has a Quick-Start Guide that directed me to the
core, critical content, and I was able to rapidly get up to
speed. There is so much deep content in the articles, checklists,
audios and videos, that I will be coming back to the website
for many months to come.
This certification process is excellent because you can access
the materials online, anytime! I read articles daily, listened
to teleclasses while cleaning the house and in the car. There
are so many resources available aside from the one on one
conversations with Bill. I plan on continuing my training
with Bill to be certified in the higher levels of IMGCA because
of the positive experience with IMGCA's program."

"The IMGCA Certification program has probably been the best
investment I have ever made in terms of wanting to learn a
practical way to teach the mental game. My time with Bill
Cole was extremely enjoyable and productive. Not only did
he help me understand the mental game further, but more importantly,
he helped me outline a step by step approach to working with
athletes. It only took a few minutes into the first training
session for me to know that Bill Cole is committed to helping
you excel as a coach.
Another wonderful aspect of the program was the fact that
it wasn't a cookie cutter, one size fits all program. Bill
worked with me one-on-one to be sure that he met me at the
point of my need. The tips, strategies, and handouts that
are provided only added an extra touch to an already great
program. This certification will pay for itself if you simply
apply what you learn throughout the training.
The IMGCA Certification program exceeded my expectations and
I fully recommend it to anybody who is or wants to become
a Mental Game Coach."

"My IMGCA mental game certification training program has
taught me, among many other lessons, that everything I do
and say as a coach and teacher influences the behavior of
the young athletes I have been given the privilege to work
with. With Bill Cole's expert guidance I have become a more
effective leader, communicator and coach/teacher-his mentorship
has proven to be invaluable in my quest to develop confidence,
focus and mental discipline in the young football players
I work with. And in developing these mental skills the players
have improved their on-field performance, which has equated
to more success as a team-and they have also begun to transfer
these skills to other areas of their lives, such as academics
and social relations.
It has also provided me the tools to train other coaches to
do the same with their players. As a result, I was asked to
speak at a youth football coaches meeting, and have been asked
to host a coaching clinic next spring. I have also been asked
to speak to the coaches and players of a youth Lacrosse team,
which tells me that IMGCA philosophies and mental training
methods transcend any particular sport and can help both players
and coaches develop skills and set and achieve goals that
bring success both on an individual and team basis.
I've never met a coach who denied the relationship between
an athlete's mental approach and his/her performance in practice
and competition, and I strongly encourage and recommend the
IMGCA certification program as a means to teaching themselves,
other coaches, and the athletes they work with how to put
the two together. English philosopher Alfred North Whitehead
once said that "education is the acquisition of the art of
the utilization of knowledge". Whether you've been coaching
for 20 years or have just begun, Bill Cole and IMGCA certification
training can and will help you utilize cutting-edge mental
game approaches and make you a better coach."

"I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am to have gone
through the IMGCA Certification process with you. As a past
professional athlete, I wish I would have been smart enough
to realize the benefits of the mental game. I can't begin
to tell you how much I have learned from you in our in-depth
conversations. Your expertise in the subject I really believe
is among the very best. Your program was very beneficial in
that I wasn't just given a manual and told to fill it out
as I see in some certification classes. I was very interested
in the process of learning and implementing the mental game
and you have done a fantastic job in covering all the bases.
I know this certification will put me on the right path to
be able to teach the skills necessary for my students to achieve
higher success in reaching their ultimate dreams. Thanks again
for all your help!"

 "Attention
all tennis coaches! I have found what you all have been looking
for! This is a course that all coaches in all fields should
consider taking if they want to be the best in their profession.
Too many coaches focus on many aspects of their sport except
the most important -- The Mental Game. If 90% of all sports
is mental, then why aren't more coaches lining up at the door
to learn the mental side of their sport?
Bill Cole is an expert in the Mental Game. His achievements
as an international mind coach, top-level champion athlete,
and his background in academic sports psychology and clinical
psychology work are infused throughout this training. He gave
me down to earth, practical tips and tools I am using now.
The IMGCA certification training program bypasses the theory
and fluff that many books have, and he customized my IMGCA
program for what I need, now.
This certification will really help me gain more credibility
and visibility in the tennis coaching and teaching world.
I wanted this training to learn how to deal with some critical
issues in my teaching and coaching business: communicating
with difficult personalities, managing big egos on a team,
teaching concentration across all skill levels, creating rapport
with new students, breath control, the inner game, helping
people raise their personal awareness so they can change,
how to make students self-accountable in lessons, how to motivate
students and how to understand and teach the real fine points
of the mental game.
I have been fortunate to learn parts of the mental game as
a junior tennis player. However the Mental Game of coaching
is very different from learning the mental game as an athlete.
He has also helped me manage my ego while coaching. Like me,
young coaches think they know everything. I have learned in
the past few months that there is still so much to learn in
becoming a great coach. Bill has taught me detailed techniques
that will better prepare my students for the struggles they
will face in a tennis match.
Because I am about to open a tennis academy and will be returning
to coach a high school team this year, I will need many of
the skills of the mental game that Bill has taught me. These
skills are useful for individual coaching and for larger groups.
In my mind you can't really call yourself a coach unless you
have had some sort of mental game coaching!
Thanks Bill for everything! I can't wait for some of the situations
we have talked about to appear so I can use my new coaching
tools. There is no doubt in my mind that I will continue learning
all I can about the mental game!"
